Dave I'm sure you'll be the one responding so I'll direct towards you, and by the way , I think I can say on behalf of all of us here, you are a great help.
I had asked you a question a while back, about printing with forsay the printdocument to a file. Well going the other route of creating the tif image file myself.
My problem, is I can create a tiff image file, and it'll open on my home computer, but at work, when I try to open it, or pass it our Biscom Fax Software, it says incorrect format, which I'm sure it's cause it's not compressed right. If you could guide me in the right direction, or tell me what I'm doing wrong, Here as follows is my code
Dim b As Bitmap = New Bitmap(800, 1100)
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(b)
g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
g.DrawString(myuser.username, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 240, 20)
g.DrawString(myuser.outsidephone, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 250, 37)
g.DrawString(myuser.email, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 185, 53)
g.DrawString(" Name : " + TextBox2.Text, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 50, 130)
customerinfo = Customerfind(TextBox1.Text)
g.DrawString("Company : " + customerinfo.Company, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 50, 150)
g.DrawString(" Phone : " + TextBox3.Text, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 50, 170)
g.DrawString(" Fax : " + TextBox4.Text, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 50, 190)
g.DrawString("Active Part", New Font("Arial", 30, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 280, 260)
Dim mypos As Integer = 315
Dim index As Integer
Dim total As Integer
total = ListView1.Items.Count
For index = 0 To total - 1
g.DrawString("Part # : ", New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 80, mypos)
g.DrawString(ListView1.Items(index).Text, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 150, mypos)
mypos += 20
g.DrawString("Description : ", New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 50, mypos)
g.DrawString(ListView1.Items(index).SubItems(1).Text, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 150, mypos)
mypos += 20
g.DrawString("Price : ", New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 80, mypos)
g.DrawString(ListView1.Items(index).SubItems(2).Text, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 150, mypos)
mypos += 20
g.DrawString("Cubes : ", New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 80, mypos)
g.DrawString(ListView1.Items(index).SubItems(3).Text, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 150, mypos)
mypos += 40
Next
Dim blackpen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3)
g.DrawRectangle(blackpen, 30, 240, 760, 180 + (mypos - 400))
mypos += 100
g.DrawString("Notes", New Font("Arial", 14, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 60, mypos)
g.DrawString(TextBox9.Text, New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, 60, mypos + 25)
g.Save()
Dim mysave As String = install + "\Active\" + TextBox2.Text + "-" + Today.Month.ToString + "-" + Today.Day.ToString + "-" + Today.Year.ToString + ".tif"
b.Save(mysave, Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff)
g.Dispose()
b.Dispose()

Well, I only have about 10 minutes per day (if I'm lucky!) to do this anymore. My life got very busy with a new job and my girlfriend recovering from reconstructive knee surgery.
First, you don't use g.Save(). This doesn't save the image, only the state of the Graphics container. In your case, it's useless...
Second, I'd have to do some research on this, but it would appear that at least one of the image parameters being written to the .TIFF file are wrong or not supported by the Fax software .TIFF parser. What I mean is something like the Image Color Depth or Pixel Format may not be supported.
I say this because your creating a Bitmap object using just the height and width parameters, which defaults to a 32-bits per pixel format that supports 8 bits for Red, Green, Blue, and an Alpha channel.
Now, when you go to save the Bitmap object, that image information is stored with the image in the .TIFF file. But, I don't think the correct, or should I say universaly compatible, image parameter information is being written to the file. Fax software might only support an 8-bit per pixel or maybe even a 1-bit per pixel format. So...
What I think you have to do is experiment with creating your Bitmap object using the Height, Width, and PixelFormat parameters. Something like:
Dim b As Bitmap = New Bitmap(800, 1100, PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed)
You might also have to alter the Palette array and supply the correct colors to the Bitmap object if the PixelFormat is an -Indexed format. In the case of Format1bppIndex, you'd have to supply 2 colors (32-bit ARGB values) to the Palette array, maybe 0x00000000 and 0xFFFFFFFF for black and white colors.
A good way to find out the information you need would be to load a .TIFF file generated by the Fax software into the Bitmap object and look at its property values in the debugger.

Glad you get to spend the time you do, helping others. Someday, I'll be able to answer questions,
I did some testing on some of what ya gave me,
the following throws an error
Dim b As Bitmap = New Bitmap(800, 1100, Imaging.PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed)
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(b)
This throws the following error
Additional information: A Graphics object cannot be created from an image that has an indexed pixel format.
Tomorrow I'll grab a image that works, and see what specs I can get.

I'm trying to mimic the RowHeaderClick event whenever a row is click in a DataGrid. Does anybody know how to do it? Basically I just want to highlight the entire row. Also, is there a way to change either the font color or background color of different rows in a DataGrid?
|
|
|
|
|
Handle it in the MouseDown event like this.
Dim ht As HitTestInfo = Me.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)<br />
If (e.Button = MouseButtons.Right) Then<br />
If ht.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell Then<br />
Me.Select(ht.Row)<br />
End If<br />
End If

Is there a property that can be set for a ListView that will allow it to show (or block) certain file types?
I have directories that contain several image file and a few text files. In my list view, I want to display only the TEXT files.
I can cycle through the files and display only the *.txt files but this is time consuming since most of the files are not text files so I’m just trying to find a more efficient way.
Thanks.

No, you have to filter the list yourself, just as your doing. The ListView doesn't offer any kind of built-in filtering.
If your binding the ListView to a datasource, you can apply filtering to the dataview that your binding to, but that's about it.

Thanks Dave.
After playing around with my code I found that I was looping some things that I didn’t need to. It still hesitates but it’s acceptable.

There is a object defined as:
CREATE TYPE Book_t AS OBJECT(
name varchar(10),
author varchar(10));
CREATE TYPE BookSet AS TABLE OF Book_t
and a function defined as:
CREATE FUNCTION GetBooks() RETURN BookSet
How do I call this from a VB.NET application?

I've developed a program that reads animations (in GIF format) it reads each frame and I can display each frame on a Form in seperate PictureBoxes, what I would like to do is save the entire picture as a bitmap or a jpeg, which I can't do is there anyway to do this can someone help me.
|
|
|
|

What do you mean by "entire picture"? Are you trying to save the full animation of the .GIF as a .BMP or .JPG? You can't because neither format supports frames. They don't support animation...

what i mean is that when I click on a button called Add Frames, it adds each animation frame onto seperate picture boxes, which displays each animation frame as a bitmap on seperate picture box. This is what I want to save. I will list my code here. If you go through my code you will see that each each animation frame of a gif is separteley displayed on seprate picture boxes this is what i want to save, all individual bitmaps which are on their own picture boxes as a complete bitmap or jpeg. here is my code:

So you want to save each idividual frame as it's own .BMP or .JPG file?
Then just iterate through the PictureBox's, just like you added to the Form (or parent PictureBox in your case), cast a Bitmap object to the Image property of the PictureBox, then supply the filename to save it. You already have most of the code written, the rest is easy.
For x = 0 to UBound(PictureBox(), 0)
Dim imgBitmap As Bitmap = PictureBox(x).Image
imgBitmap.Save(strFilename, ImageFormat.Bmp)
'increment your filename somehow, somthing like
'MyAnimation0001.bmp, MyAnimation0002.bmp, ...
imgBitmap.Dispose()
Next

I can already save each individual frame as a seperate bitmap.What I want to do is save all the animation frames as a single bitmap file.So when I open up that single bitmap file in Microsoft Paint or Paintshop Pro it displays all the frames of the animation in a single bitmap file.
|
|
|
|
|
For that, you would have to make a bitmap and loop through the frames. Then, draw the current frame on to your bitmap at the ending position of the previous frame.

You would have to experiment with overriding the MouseDown and MouseUp events of the Form. During MouseDown, you would probably have to use the PointToScreen function to calculate the coordinates to use and change the Top and Left parameters of the Form to those coordinates. No, I don't have any sample code.

This depends entirely on your game's engine design and can only be answered by you, the person who designed it. The key would be handled just like any other keydown/keyup event in your game. How you reset your game engine depends HEAVILY on the design of the engine.

 This makes no sense what-so-ever...

I have a custom collection set that contain specific items and/or a set of items of that same class. (Much like a Windows folder, any collection can contain one or more "shortcut" items, as well as other "folder" items - which in turn can contain the same kind of items).
I have the class collections and representations mapped out, but I am having a heck of a time implementing XML Serialization/Deserialization around the set.
There is a very helpful article on XML ser/deser of a custom collection class, but it is not recursive.
Can someone point me to an appropriate document?
Thanks;
MR

I created a Class library in a multi-project solution. This library is being referenced by many other libraries in different projects in the same solution. When I compile this library I would manually remove references to this library and then reference it again. Is there another way to do this?

Hi,
Another way of doing this is use the Reflection Class,which dynamically
Loads the Assembly at run time. and also Unloads the Assembly.
So, you use the Assembly when ever you want at Runtime.

The problem is probably because you are using automatic versioning in your Class library project. Open the Assembly.vb file and change the Assembly Version attribute from "1.*.*" (auto-increment versioning) to "1.0.0.0" or whatever you want for a version number. Then, all your other projects that reference this assembly will reference the same version of the assembly.
In other words, your projects are referencing your Class assembly. When that reference is created, is it created with the version number of the last time you compiled the Class into an assembly. The '*'s in the Assembly version attribute of your Class project denote numbers where the compiler will automatically increment the version number. When your other projects that reference this assembly are run, they load the Class assembly with the same version that was used when the reference was created. If your app references your Class with the Class's version at 1.0.2039, then the app will always expect version 1.0.2039 to be there.
Now, if you set a reference to the Class assembly, you'll run into the problem that your having now. If you create the reference to the Class project, the versioning problem will go away, but you'll still have to change the Assembly version of your Class project to a static number. Otherwise, when you compile your Class assembly, you'll have to recompile all the projects that reference it to.

Hello,
I'm very new to VB so maybe the solution I'm looking for is easy to find but I just can't find it...
I have an access database with companies datas; this database is read by a VB application ( prev, next, search...usual stuff ).
The fields are:
Company
Address
City
Phone
Fax
Email
Comments
What I would like to add is:
a combo box which will autoupdate itself based on the database records, so when a user is selecting an item from the combo, the corresponding record become visible on the interface fields.
It is possible to have something like this? I did the thing in Access but it looks like there are many differences between VB code and Access code...
Thanks in advance.
Axel
